Luke Kuechly is the game’s best coverage linebacker, and over four games he hasn’t allowed a pass into his coverage longer than 14 yards, while notching an interception and a pass breakup on the 20 targets that have come his way. Kuechly has also performed well in the run game, sifting his way through traffic to make stops or taking on blockers at the point of attack.

The Panthers also got a couple of other honors. Starting left guard Andrew Norwell made the second team and right guard Trai Turner got an honorable mention.
